GV II

Probably fish cellars and net stores associated with the seine fishing industry, now largely in use as restaurant with some storage use associated with ships in the harbour. Possibly C17 in origin. MATERIALS: Colourwashed local red breccia rubble; natural slate roof laid in diminishing courses, gabled at ends; stack at S end of S range, shaft concealed by foliage. PLAN: Single-depth L-plan, the north range longer; part of the south range knocked through in the 1930s to give access to the esplanade. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 3-window front to S range, 7:2-window front to the north range, which narrows in the last 2 bays to the east. All windows (except those at the east end of the north range) are small-pane C20 timber casements with timber lintels and C20 timber boarded shutters. The first-floor windows have recesses below the sills, suggesting they have been reduced in length. The south range has a set of external breccia steps with a covered porch with a lean-to roof and 4-pane window to the left. One ground-floor C20 three-light window; C20 boarded door at right end. The north range has 3 doors, all C20, one a sliding door. 7 first-floor windows; 3 ground-floor windows. The set back section at the right end has fixed-pane C20 windows. Right gable end still preserves an industrial character, the gable partly weatherboarded, external timber steps up to a small door to the right. One ground- and first-floor large doorway, the first-floor doorway with a gantry. INTERIOR: Not inspected but may retain features of interest. HISTORY: Patterson argues that these buildings are those described in a deed of 10 July 1654 as "domus piscarie" and "domus cellarium". A photograph of 1938 shows the N range with small first-floor windows and boarded loading doors (Penwill). (Patterson CH: The History of Paignton: 1952-: 44, 45; Penwill FR: Paignton in Six Reigns: 1935-: 112).
